Q: When is Advent Children being released in [insert country here]?A: The exact release date of Advent Children is currently uncertain. Originally the movie was scheduled to be released in Summer 2004 in Japan, then the official site was changed to reflect a more vague release date of "2004". However in a entry in November on the official Shin-Ra site, Tetsuya Nomura made an indication that we may have to wait a little more due to to present an excellent work and to wait a little longer.
As a result, the North American release date is now unknown. Online retail stores such as EB Games were previously offering pre-orders of the movie for the PSP with a release date of March/April 2005. However these stores have now removed Advent Children from their pre-order list, giving further speculation as to when the release may be.
One such speculation for the delayed releases that came out after the Venice Film Festival, was a hint that there would be a worldwide release in both Japanese and English. However this has not been confirmed by Square-Enix, so may only be press speculation.
As for a release in other parts of the world such as Europe, UK, Australia, etc; nothing has been mentioned at all on this. Although a local release is certainly likely, nothing is known for sure.
We will keep you updated if anything regarding release dates comes up.
